A bed
dressed in a fluffy duvet and a beautiful duvet cover almost guarantees a good
night's sleep. I've put together ways on
how to care for duvets and duvet covers to help them last.
What is
a Duvet?
·
A duvet is a type of blanket for a bed. It's made like a large
bag, usually of good quality, high-thread-count cotton, filled with feathers,
down, silk, wool, or polyfil(fiber). A duvet takes the place of a sheet and
blanket, all in one piece.
What is
a Duvet Cover?
·
A duvet cover is like a large pillow case for a duvet. The duvet
fits inside the cover which buttons closed or zip closed at one end.
·
Some duvet covers are basic and plain made from fabric like a
sheet. Some duvet covers are made from decorative fabrics to complete the
bedroom decor.

Care for a Duvet
·
Shake and fluff a duvet every morning after use. This will help
to keep the fill evenly distributed.
·
If you keep a duvet cover on the duvet, you'll rarely need to clean
it.
·
It's usually recommended that when necessary, you wash your
duvet in a large, commercial washing machine. Do not dry clean as some
chemicals used can break down the fibers of the fill.
·
Dry a duvet on gentle heat in the dryer. When it's partially
dry, take it out, give it a good shake to break up damp clusters of filling,
and finish the drying.
·
Hang a duvet out to air dry for at least 24 hours to make
certain all sections are dry before replacing on the bed.
·
If you keep the duvet inside a duvet cover, it will stay clean
and fresh for months.
Care
for a Duvet Cover
·
Wash or clean the duvet cover like you do for the sheets. Iron
and replace over the duvet.
Always remember, Sweet life starts with a sweet dream.
